With the continuous progress of science and technology and the diversification of market demand, the demand for thrust ball bearing retainers of different sizes is increasing. However, in the production field of micro series thrust ball bearing retainers, there are many technical problems, which seriously restrict the improvement of production efficiency and product quality.

[0003] The existing standard thrust ball bearing retainer on the market is usually composed of two accessories, "punching clamp" and "steel ball", which is processed into bearing "retainer product" by equipment. For bearing retainers with an outer diameter greater than 25mm, the existing automatic equipment on the market can basically complete the assembly. These automatic equipment can meet the requirements of production efficiency and quality when producing larger retainers, and is relatively mature in technology.

[0039] As Figures 1 to 7As shown, a kind of small bearing automatic assembly equipment, including vibration disc 2, rotating platform 3, hole positioning mechanism 4, ball falling mechanism 6, visual camera 7, stamping mechanism 8 and blanking mechanism 9, the rotating platform 3 is equipped with multiple work position components 5, multiple the work position components 5 are uniformly distributed in circle, the vibration disc 2 is installed in one side of the rotating platform 3, conveying mechanism 10 is arranged between the vibration disc 2 and the rotating platform 3, the hole positioning mechanism 4, ball falling mechanism 6, visual camera 7, stamping mechanism 8 and blanking mechanism 9 are arranged according to the arrangement circle of multiple the work position components 5.

[0040] The utility model discloses a kind of small bearing automatic assembly equipment mainly including vibration disc 2, rotating platform 3, hole positioning mechanism 4, ball falling mechanism 6, visual camera 7, stamping mechanism 8 and blanking mechanism 9. Rotating platform 3 is equipped with multiple circle uniformly distributed work position components 5, vibration disc 2 is installed in rotating platform 3 one side, conveying mechanism 10 is arranged between the two, vibration disc 2 first arranges the direction of stamping fixture 1, so that it is opened upwards, then stamping fixture 1 is conveyed to rotating platform 3, with the rotation of rotating platform 3, work position component 5 sequentially passes each mechanism to complete assembly work.

[0041] When passing through hole positioning mechanism 4, stamping fixture 1 is positioned, to ensure its position accurate in subsequent process.In after ball falling mechanism 6, steel ball falls into stamping fixture 1, prepare for subsequent assembly.Next, when passing through visual camera 7, it will carry out visual inspection to the accuracy of ball falling and the positional relationship of steel ball and stamping fixture 1, only after checking, stamping mechanism 8 is only then to stamping fixture 1 and steel ball, so that the two form a whole, finally, through rotation, the standard thrust ball bearing retainer that has formed a whole is exported by blanking mechanism 9.

[0042] Through such a working process, the following technical effects can be achieved. First, automated assembly is realized, greatly improving production efficiency, reducing manual participation, and reducing labor costs. Compared with traditional manual assembly methods, the device can work continuously and stably, unaffected by human factors such as fatigue and mood, thereby ensuring the continuity and efficiency of production. Second, through the arrangement of the vibration disc 2 in the direction of the stamped parts 1 and the orderly cooperation of each mechanism, the accuracy and precision of assembly are improved. The hole positioning mechanism 4 ensures the accurate position of the stamped parts 1, the visual camera 7 further checks the ball drop and position relationship, and the precise stamping of the stamping mechanism 8 makes the product quality more secure and reduces the rate of defective products. Furthermore, the overall structural design of the device is reasonable, and each mechanism works cooperatively, making the entire assembly process smooth and efficient, improving the overall efficiency of production.

It not only meets the quantity demand of the market for micro bearing retainer, but also achieves a high standard in quality, providing reliable technical support for the development of related industries.

[0043] Further, the conveying mechanism 10 includes a material conveying channel 101, a material conveying table 102, a material pushing cylinder 104, and a material pushing plate 105. The material conveying channel 101 connects the vibration disc 2 and the material conveying table 102. The material conveying table 102 is provided with a material dropping hole 103. The material pushing cylinder 104 is connected to the material pushing plate 105, and the position of the material pushing plate 105 corresponds to the material conveying table 102.

The material conveying table 102 is provided with a material dropping hole 103. When the stamped parts 1 reach the material conveying table 102, the material pushing cylinder 104 drives the material pushing plate 105 to move, and the position of the material pushing plate 105 corresponds to the material conveying table 102. Under the action of the material pushing cylinder 104, the material pushing plate 105 pushes the stamped parts 1, so that the stamped parts 1 are accurately dropped from the material dropping hole 103 to the workpiece component 5 on the rotating platform 3. Then, this pushing process is repeated continuously, and the stamped parts 1 are continuously conveyed to the rotating platform 3, providing stable material supply for the subsequent assembly process.

[0044] Through the structural arrangement, the stamped parts 1 are accurately and efficiently conveyed from the vibration disc 2 to the rotating platform 3. Through the cooperation of the material conveying channel 101 and the material conveying table 102, the orderly transmission of the stamped parts 1 is ensured, and material chaos is avoided. The design of the material pushing cylinder 104 and the material pushing plate 105 makes the pushing action accurate and reliable, and the stamped parts 1 can be accurately pushed onto the workpiece component 5, improving the accuracy and stability of assembly. The continuous pushing process ensures the continuity of the entire assembly line, greatly improves the production efficiency, and reduces the production interruption caused by the delay of material conveying, providing a strong guarantee for efficient automated assembly.

[0045] In this embodiment, the specific structure of the vibration disc 2 is set as a mature design in the prior art, which will not be described here.

[0046] Further, the hole positioning mechanism 4 includes a rotating motor 41, a rotating alignment wheel 42, a jacking piece 43, and an alignment cylinder 44. The rotating motor 41 is connected to the rotating alignment wheel 42 for driving the rotating alignment wheel 42 to rotate. The alignment cylinder 44 is connected to the rotating motor 41 for driving the rotating motor 41 to rotate. The station component 5 includes a lower die 51, and at least two pins 45 are arranged on the lower die 51 for inserting into the corresponding hole positions of the stamping fixture 1. The jacking piece 43 is arranged below the rotating platform 3 for lifting the pins 45. When the station component 5 carrying the stamping fixture 1 rotates to below the rotating alignment wheel 42, the jacking piece 43 below the rotating platform 3 pushes the pins 45 on the lower die 51 upwards, so that the stamping fixture 1 is lifted. Then, the alignment cylinder 44 is lowered, the rotating motor 41 drives the rotating alignment wheel 42 to rotate, and the stamping fixture 1 is rotated. When the corresponding holes of the stamping fixture 1 are aligned with the pins 45, the alignment is completed.

[0047] Through the above structure, the precise positioning of the stamping fixture 1 is realized. Through the cooperation of the pins 45 and the hole positions of the stamping fixture 1 and the rotation adjustment of the motor, the position accuracy of the stamping fixture 1 in the subsequent process is ensured, which provides a reliable positioning basis for the ball dropping, stamping, and other operations, improves the assembly precision and quality, reduces the assembly errors caused by position deviation, ensures the smooth progress of the entire automatic assembly process, and improves the production efficiency and product consistency.

[0048] Specifically, the jacking piece 43 can be block-shaped, rod-shaped, or plate-shaped, as long as it can lift the pins 45.

[0049] In this embodiment, the bottoms of the plurality of pins 45 are connected, which is convenient for being lifted by the jacking piece 43.

[0050] Further, the ball dropping mechanism 6 includes a material dropping support frame 61, a steel ball dropping pipeline 62, an opening and closing component, and a downward pushing cylinder 63. The downward pushing cylinder 63 is connected to the material dropping support frame 61 for driving the material dropping support frame 61 to move up and down. The steel ball dropping pipeline 62 is arranged on the material dropping support frame 61. The opening and closing component is connected to the steel ball dropping pipeline 62 for controlling the opening and closing of the steel ball dropping pipeline 62. During the work process, the downward pushing cylinder 63 drives the material dropping support frame 61 to move up and down to adjust the position of the steel ball dropping pipeline 62. When the station component 5 carrying the stamping fixture 1 reaches the ball dropping position, the opening and closing component controls the steel ball dropping pipeline 62 to open, and the steel ball falls through the steel ball dropping pipeline 62 and accurately falls into the stamping fixture 1. Then, the opening and closing component closes the pipeline again to wait for the next ball dropping operation.

[0051] Through the structural arrangement, the precise blanking of the steel ball is realized, the push-down cylinder 63 ensures the accuracy of the steel ball falling position, and the opening and closing member controls the opening and closing of the steel ball falling pipeline 62, so that the steel ball can fall into the stamping clamp 1 at the appropriate time, improving the precision and stability of the steel ball falling, reducing the falling error, ensuring the smooth progress of the assembly process, and providing a good foundation for subsequent stamping and other operations.

[0052] Further, the opening and closing member includes a rotating block 64, a fixed block 65 and a blanking cylinder 66, the fixed block 65 is fixedly arranged, the rotating block 64 is arranged between the fixed block 65 and the blanking support frame 61, the first blanking passage is arranged in the fixed block 65, and the second blanking passage is arranged in the rotating block 64, in the process of rotating the rotating block 64, the second blanking passage and the first blanking passage have aligned and misaligned states, the blanking cylinder 66 is arranged on the blanking support frame 61 and connected with the rotating block 64, for driving the rotating block 64 to rotate, and the steel ball falling pipeline 62 is connected with the first blanking passage. In the working process, the blanking cylinder 66 drives the rotating block 64 to rotate. The fixed block 65 is fixedly arranged and has the first blanking passage therein, the rotating block 64 is located between the fixed block 65 and the blanking support frame 61 and has the second blanking passage. When the rotating block 64 rotates under the action of the blanking cylinder 66, the second blanking passage and the first blanking passage will appear in the aligned and misaligned states. When they are aligned, the steel ball can sequentially pass through the first blanking passage and the second blanking passage from the steel ball falling pipeline 62 and smoothly fall into the stamping clamp 1; when they are misaligned, the passages are closed to prevent the steel ball from falling.

[0053] Regarding the specific structural arrangement of the opening and closing member, there can be various ways, for example, directly setting an opening and closing valve in the steel ball falling passage.

[0054] In terms of technical effects, the precise control of the opening and closing of the steel ball falling pipeline 62 is realized. This precise control ensures the accuracy and appropriateness of the steel ball blanking, avoiding the disordered falling or unnecessary waste of the steel ball. Through the precise opening and closing control, the stability and reliability of the steel ball falling process are improved, so that each steel ball falling can be carried out at the appropriate time and position. After the material cup 11 is filled with steel balls, through the connection with the steel ball falling pipeline 62, the continuous conveying of the steel balls is realized, ensuring that the steel balls can be stably supplied to the steel ball falling mechanism 6 during the assembly process, meeting the needs of continuous production and ensuring the coherence and efficiency of the entire assembly process. The technical effect lies in ensuring the stability of the steel ball supply, reducing the production stagnation caused by the interruption of the steel ball supply, and improving the production efficiency and the operation reliability of the equipment.

[0055] Further, the cup 11 is connected to the ball falling pipe 62. The cup 11 is connected to the ball falling pipe 62 to provide a source of balls. After the cup 11 is filled with balls, the continuous supply of balls is achieved through the connection with the ball falling pipe 62, ensuring that the ball falling mechanism 6 can stably supply balls during assembly, meeting the needs of continuous production, and ensuring the continuity and efficiency of the entire assembly process.

[0056] Further, the stamping mechanism 8 includes an upper die 81 and a stamping member 82 connected to the upper die 81, and the station member 5 includes a lower die 51. When the station member 5 carrying the product moves under the upper die 81, the stamping member 82 is driven to move the upper die 81 downward. At this time, the upper die 81 and the lower die 51 in the station member 5 approach each other to press the product between them. The precise fit of the upper die 81 and the lower die 51 ensures the accuracy and stability of the stamping process.

[0057] Through the above process, efficient stamping of the product is achieved. The accurate driving of the upper die 81 by the stamping member 82 enables the upper die 81 and the lower die 51 to quickly and forcefully press the product, firmly combining the ball and the stamping clip 1 together to form a standard thrust ball bearing retainer. This efficient stamping process improves production efficiency and ensures the consistency of product quality.

[0058] Further, the blanking mechanism 9 includes a product falling channel 91 and a blowing pipe 92, and the gas outlet direction of the gas outlet of the blowing pipe 92 points to the discharging direction of the product falling channel 91. During operation, when the completed product moves to the position of the product falling channel 91, the blowing pipe 92 starts to blow. The gas outlet direction of the gas outlet of the blowing pipe 92 points to the discharging direction of the product falling channel 91, and the product is blown by the pushing force of the gas to smoothly fall along the product falling channel 91. This simple and efficient blowing blanking method can quickly transfer the product from the assembly station to the subsequent collection or packaging link.

[0059] Through the above process, the product is quickly and smoothly discharged. The blowing action of the blowing pipe 92 avoids the possibility of blockage or jamming of the product during the discharging process, ensuring the continuity and stability of the discharging process. At the same time, this method does not require complex mechanical transmission structures to push the product to discharge, reducing the complexity and failure rate of the equipment. In addition, the fast discharging process helps to improve the efficiency of the entire assembly production line, making the entire production process more smooth, ensuring that the product can be timely and orderly transferred to the next process or subjected to subsequent processing.

[0060] Further, the number of the work station components 5 is set to 8, and the hole positioning mechanism 4 and the ball dropping mechanism 6 are spaced by one position of the work station component 5, and the visual camera 7 and the stamping mechanism 8 are spaced by one position of the work station component 5. After the hole positioning mechanism 4 completes the positioning of the stamping fixture 1, it goes through the interval of one work station component 5 to the ball dropping mechanism 6 for ball dropping operation, which gives a certain space to observe the positioning effect. After the product goes through the ball dropping mechanism 6, it goes through the interval of one work station component 5 to the visual camera 7 position for detection, and if an abnormality is detected, it can be repaired through the vacant position before reaching the stamping mechanism 8.

[0061] This layout improves the accuracy and stability of assembly. The interval work station setting facilitates timely detection of whether the positioning effect is good, and if there is a problem, it can be adjusted in advance to avoid subsequent errors. At the same time, the design of the interval work station after detection by the visual camera 7 provides the possibility of repairing abnormalities, reduces the generation of defective products, and improves product quality. Overall, it optimizes the production process, improves production efficiency, and ensures stable operation of the equipment and high-quality output of the product.

[0062] Further, it further includes a vibration base 12, a workbench base 13, a visual processor 14, a power motor 15 and a power flywheel 16, the vibration disc 2 is arranged on the vibration base 12, the rotating platform 3, the visual processor 14, the power motor 15 and the power flywheel 16 are arranged on the workbench base 13, the visual processor 14 is connected with the visual camera 7, and the power flywheel 16 is connected with the stamping mechanism 8. In the working process, the visual processor 14 is connected with the visual camera 7, processes and analyzes the image information collected by the visual camera 7, and displays the results, so that the operator can understand the assembly situation in time, the power motor 15 provides power for the power flywheel 16, and the power flywheel 16 transmits power to the stamping component 82 to realize stamping operation.

[0063] The stable base support ensures the accurate running position of each component, reduces the error caused by equipment shaking or instability. The information processing and display function of the visual processor 14 improves the visualization degree and monitoring ability of the assembly process, which helps to find problems and adjust in time. The reasonable configuration of the power system ensures the efficient and stable operation of the stamping operation, improves the production efficiency and the stability of product quality, and provides reliable technical support for the automatic assembly of the whole micro bearing.
